Re: Best Bankai

Among all bankais we have seen so far, Tensa Zangetsu Version 3 (the recent one) is my favorite. We have already seen how powerful this form is. It has really really good design. Ichigo looks lot more stronger, calm and disciplined. Yet, the sword, gives an eerie feeling.

Re: Best Bankai

It's difficult to chose, but I would nominate Tensa Zangetsu from the fight with Aizen after Dangai training with the chain wrapped around Ichigo's arm. It was really great design and of course its power was tremendous.

Can we really consider that bankai? I mean Ichigo wasn't really a shinigami at that point...I added it to the nominations list, but nonetheless I would like to clarify this

Re: Best Bankai

Senbonzakura Kageyoshi
Versatile, beautiful, and I say almost unstopable, if Kubo doesn't troll for the sake of plot. Inprisoning Zommari like that, not even showing himself, can cut you down to pieces in an instant. Plus the more cruel form....~

Lol I wouldn't mind dying while I see sakura leaves everywhere... so romantic

Downgrade: it doesn't change his design like Tensa Zangetsu (making Ichigo 60% cooler ;D).. but then, Byakuya is gorgeous in his shihakusho and haori and kenseikans in hair, so I don't mind

Re: Best Bankai

Kamishini no Yari from Gin Ichimaru

To in infer something and pose it as implied in the source is to justify something.
The justification that an arc or a story sucks because the author is as tired as us from it can't apply since it's the author's fault it sucks to begin with.

Re: Best Bankai

Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, since it is likely the most versatile bankai there is.
He is facing "slow" opponents? Base form is ok. He is facing someone that can elude his primary ability? Fine, he has the dome of swords. He wants to end the fight? Fine, he has Goukei. He wants to win with style? Hakuteiken, one of the most beautiful attacks there is.
Granted is a bit girly, but say that to his face

Re: Best Bankai

Kamishini no Yari too. Gin used his bankai in a wrong way to hide his real abilities and yet the bankai was so damn powerful. one slice and you cut down a whole city? loool and that final ability that kills an opponent from the inside is too cool.
